Didn't see these new set pics posted: http://www.justjared.com/2020/09/19/sebastian-stan-films-night-scene-for-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier/

Really loving the short hair.

Low expectations. It's a Batman book. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Ric saga will come down to maybe one or two lines to acknowledge it happened without moving much of Dick's status forward.

Yep. Even someone like Hawkeye and Black Widow, despite some pretty decent runs in the last few years and getting a lot of screen time in Avengers movies, can't sustain ongoings.

THis makes me convinced that DC editorial allowed Castellucci to write the story she wanted to tell and not have her be completely shackled by Joker War. What's frustrating is if this arc is great...

Damn, that sucks that we're not getting a new creative team after Joker War. Thanks for the detailed info.

Okay, thanks. I actually stopped reading comics altogether several months ago and even then was only reading a few books. I'm definitely not following Joker War so thanks for the heads up. I'll wait...

With all this talk about Sam, why not have a book about a support group for superheroes who can't get out of someone else's shadow? Call it Sidekicks-anonymous. Bucky would fit right in. Hell, throw...

Sorry to interrupt the current conversation, but is it worth jumping back into Nightwing again? Is Ric finally done? Was #72 serviceable at least?

I don't know, honestly. I wouldn't consider the editor of Batgirl and Nightwing to have that much of a final say in the overall bat-office editorial team, and I would guess that these books are just...

Yikes that's a pretty significant inconsistency. Castellucci mentioned in her interview that she was in constant communication with her editor, who also happens to be the editor in Nightwing!! It's...

I also posted on the Black Widow thread. The audio quality and narration are pretty good. The story itself is enjoyable enough, but it does feel...

I haven't been reading this title (took a hiatus from comics in general). Can you share how the continuity is different? What were some of the inconsistencies?

Marvel wiki says he was born in 1925. Brubaker's flashback arc had Bucky at Camp LeHigh when his dad died in 1935. If he became mascot some time after that then 12ish sounds about right.

This thread has been pretty quiet so figured I'd bring up that Bucky has been a major character in Black Widow Bad Blood. All 14 episodes are now out if anyone's interested.

Last episode of Black Widow Bad Blood just came out. The series was mostly okay. Felt like high quality fanfic, but still enjoyable enough.

That's a bit extreme. I understand your frustration, but there will just be some characters who will always play supporting or team player roles. It doesn't mean they should be killed off just...

It's a good idea, except that it is the exact premise of Secret Avengers. Interestingly enough, the roles were reversed during that time. BuckyCap was in the regular Avengers title and Steve was...

Bucky is probably my favorite character, but I think he's a redundant character these days. No other writer has been able to make Bucky compelling since Brubaker, and IMO, even Brubaker seemed to...

So was Strikeforce any good? Was Bucky prominent? Should I get it?

I would take the word of an actor, who hasn't even been officially announced as part of the cast, with a huge grain of salt. Would be interesting to see if true, though.

Yeah, either the writers/editors are ignoring their history or are doing it on purpose because of the whole mindwipe/clone thing. It happened in the Punisher book that had both of them in it too.

That's how I saw that scene too. It was just a way for King to acknowledge that Dick (and Jason) still exist while providing a quick scene to explain why they weren't part of the bat-fam mission.

Yeah, definitely. The fact that King was planning on using something deeply personal to him as the inspiration for the story makes me think it would have been a great arc.

Don't have time to listen to the podcast right this moment, but which book was King talking about that Dick and Tim would have shared?

Also, this would have been the type of story that would have...

Yep, exactly right. The whole Ric arc could have been interesting if it was used as a way to examine his relationships, how his friends/family reacted to him being shot, why he's important to the...
